This is a renewal award for the support of the High-Energy Theory group at the C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics (YITP) at SUNY Stony Brook. Professors covered under this award are Maria (Concha) Gonzalez-Garcia, Martin Rocek, Robert Shrock, Warren Siegel, and George Sterman. Collectively, this group conducts research in a variety of areas in theoretical physics, including the phenomenology of high-energy colliders, extensions of the Standard Model, electroweak symmetry breaking, neutrino and astroparticle physics, leptogenesis, superstrings, the geometry of supersymmetric gauge theories, quantum chromodynamics and field/string dualities. As such, their work is both phenomenological and formal; likewise, their phenomenological work involves both electroweak physics and strong-interaction physics. Together, they are proposing to tackle some of the outstanding questions in these disciplines, many of which will have direct relevance for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.The broader impacts of this research include advancing our knowledge of the laws of Nature and contributing toward a better understanding of the physical universe. The research outlined in this proposal will also serve in the training of graduate students and mentoring of postdoctoral fellows. The faculty to be supported under this proposal also plan outreach efforts to reach a broader public, and indeed one of the faculty members supported by this grant organizes a major summer school in string theory each year.

这是对纽约州立大学石溪分校杨振宁理论物理研究所(YITP)高能理论小组支持的更新奖项。该奖项涵盖的教授包括玛丽亚(Concha)冈萨雷斯-加西亚、马丁·罗塞克、罗伯特·施罗克、沃伦·西格尔和乔治·斯特曼。总的来说，这个小组在理论物理的不同领域进行研究，包括高能对撞机的唯象学，标准模型的扩展，电弱对称破缺，中微子和天体粒子物理，瘦子发生，超弦，超对称规范理论的几何学，量子色动力学和场/弦对偶。因此，他们的工作既是现象学的，也是形式的；同样，他们的现象学工作既涉及电弱物理，也涉及强相互作用物理。他们共同提议解决这些学科中的一些悬而未决的问题，其中许多问题将与瑞士日内瓦欧洲核子研究中心的大型强子对撞机(LHC)直接相关。这项研究的更广泛影响包括促进我们对自然规律的了解，并有助于更好地理解物理宇宙。这项建议中概述的研究还将用于研究生的培训和博士后研究员的指导。根据这项提议，将得到支持的教职员工还计划扩大范围，以接触更广泛的公众，事实上，在这项拨款的支持下，其中一名教职员工每年都会组织一次重要的弦理论暑期学校。
